There are some situations where you cannot do a dual pass. For instance, if you are live broadcasting a symphony with a grand finale, there is no hardware or software solution possible that produces a fully EBU R128 compliant loudness. Something like my patch must be close enough. After all, EBU R128 is only a recommendation.
EBU R128 specifically does not address any realtime paradigm for the simple reason: Say you have film credits, the normaliser thinks it's too quiet. The next advert is then boosted. R128 refers to programme loudness.
